On behalf of Abel Homes, we strongly support the allocation of GNLP0520, land South of Norwich
Road, Hingham. As demonstrated during the various Regulation 18 consultations, the site is entirely deliverable, and capable of making a significant contribution towards satisfying the Councils’ housing needs during the period to 2038.
The continued suitability of the site is detailed below. In considering the suitability of the site regard has been given to the specific requirements of Policy GNLP0520, as well as additional technical work, and discussions with key stakeholders, including the Lead Local Flood Authority and NCC (Highways), that have taken place since the Regulation 18 (c) consultation
On this basis, the allocation of land to the south of Norwich Road is considered to be sound based on the test of soundness set out in paragraph 35 of the NPPF, subject to minor alterations to the wording of Policy GNLP0520.

On this basis, it is recommended that the wording of Policy GNLP0520 is revised to state that the
site will accommodate at least 80 new homes; an approach that would be consistent with other site
allocations in the draft Greater Norwich Local Plan. The proposed amendment would ensure that
the policy is positively prepared, justified, and, therefore, sound.
